And no, it's through this science center nearish my house. I've only lived here about five months, all of which are not bee season, so the actual keeping of the bees will be new to me. But yes, you do get stung! The woman teaching the class has apparently been beekeeping for 20+years, and she said that on average, she typically gets stung about 100 times a year (tending 48 hives).
I've only been stung once before, and it was such a novelty that afterwards I spent the next half hour taking photographs of the bee. XD I am now the semi-proud owner of semi-decent macro shots of a dead bee.
